Dead Rhetoric.com Week in Review: March 9 – March 15, 2014

Saturday, 15th March 2014 By Dead Rhetoric

The prospect of a new Metallica song – for better or worse – is still an enticing prospect, no matter how uneven the band’s recent (if you want to call it “recent”) output has been. Perhaps no band’s new material holds as much sway, which is why there is some serious interest in the proposition of the band performing a new song this weekend in South America. Because there is a 100% chance someone will be recording the show on their phone, the song will be leaked almost instantly for the metal community to hear. Reactions will probably be mixed, complaints will be aired, excitement will brew, and pleas for the band to return to the sound of 1986 will be rampant. Only Metallica. – David E. Gehlke
